Roll! If you mean roll down the tops. And when my sweet husband tried to tell me how to fold his laundry I just asked him if you would like to do it. He decided to just stick with the cows (dairy farmer) and let me do my stuff my way. :)

I used to do the complete roll, like the photo, but then I got married. I discovered my sweet hubby just could not wrap his brain around any other sock-storing technique other than the half-roll, like Kippi described. And, so, I, like you Lori, being the dedicated & loving wife that I am, changed my sock folding technique to accomodate my hubby. Long story short - we half roll.

You are a much better wife than I am. I was also married at 19 & when my dear sweet hubby told me that his mom didn't like the smell of my fabric softner I told him that he was welcome to do his own laundry. And that was the end of that discussion :)

I roll - my oldest daughter (10.5) is responsible for folding & putting away her own laundry and her socks always end up thrown in her sock drawer. Apparently in 5th grade it doesn't matter if your socks match or not.

However...I am stunned and pleased to know that some people just throw socks in a general area and let the kids grab from it. Wow...the time that would save me!! Hmmm...can I break my habit...will I feel guilty? Hmmmm....I might have to get over that.

If that is an actual picture of your sock drawer I will not be showing you mine any time soon. Actually maybe I should show you our laundry room.Any way I got married at the ripe old age of 19 too. (we were much more mature back then) I drew the line at ironing his socks...we do the 1/2 fold...usually, the rest of the time we aim for the appropriate tub.

Half- roll.... when I get to it... the rest, all in the big sock tub in the laundry area. I don't make my little ones fish for socks in it, I grab them a pair when we are on the go. I actually need to thin it out some, seems there are a lot of lonely socks in there now without a friend:(Gayly

My blog!

Welcome to my blog! I started this little gem to chronicle our first adoption, then the next one, then the next...and the next. Now it's just a hodge-podge of family craziness, recipes, and my random musings. Enjoy!
